LETTER No 1

Letter from the European Community

Brussels, 24 April 2006

Sir,

I have the honour to refer to meetings related to technical adaptations which have been held in accordance
with Article 16(2) of the Agreement on Trade in Spirit Drinks and Aromatised Drinks annexed to the Asso-
ciation Agreement between the European Community and its Member States, of the one part, and the Repub-
lic of Chile, of the other part, of 18 November 2002, which provides that the Contracting Parties may, by
mutual consent, amend appendices to this Agreement to take account of any amendments to the laws and
regulations of the Parties.

In these meetings it has been concluded that some Chilean trademarks that coincides with the Community
geographical indications must be incorporated into Appendix II (List of trade marks referred to in Article 7).

I have therefore the honour to propose that Appendix II to the Agreement on Trade in Spirit Drinks and
Aromatised Drinks be replaced by the Appendix attached hereto, with effect as of today’s date.

I should be obliged if you would confirm that your Government is in agreement with the content of this
letter.

Please accept, Sir, the assurance of my highest consideration.

On behalf of the European Community
Mariann FISCHER BOEL
